A member asked:

I have had urine odor for a while now. what should i do?

Hydration: It could be something you ate (asparagus?), dehydration or an infection. Increase your fluid intake. If the symptoms don't improve or if you start having pain, fever...See your doctor for an evaluation.

A member asked:

I hold my urine inside but when I hold it in too long I leak myself. Now, my vagina smells like urine, I wash every day. I thought maybe I have an overactive bladder cause I drink a lot of liquids. What can I do to get rid of my odor or anything?
